The court's decision on whether to release the couple is expected Nov. 9, according to Jim Rigby, the trustee in Michael R. Mastro’s bankruptcy case in Seattle.

The Mastros disappeared in June 2011 after failing to comply with U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Marc Barreca’s order that they turn over two large diamond rings to the court. U.S. marshals and the FBI pursued the couple for 16 months prior to their capture Oct. 24 in a small town in the French Alps.

The couple faces a 43-count U.S. indictment alleging bankruptcy fraud and money laundering. Terrier has indicated that the Mastros' ages and health could make it difficult to extradite them to the United States. Mastro is 87; Linda is 63.
